snoggedI knew going into work today that things would be fairly low-key. The primary server we use for work was in read-only status because of the end of the fiscal year so I kept myself busy with phone calls, emails, and research knowing that full well that I'd be documenting everything from today when the system was running tomorrow.
What I didn't expect was what happened when I decided to go on my afternoon break.
I went over to Wal-mart (because it’s a block away from the office) to pick up a few things for dinner and as I was coming back, I saw an older, plus-sized woman on the sidewalk careen over the curve. She cartwheeled out her chair in slow-motion and hit the pavement. I think what happened was that she miscalculated where she needed to turn off to cross the street and went right over the curve instead. I immediately stopped the car, got out to ask her if she was ok. I couldn’t lift her up and she acknowledged that. She told me to call 911 and I did (after borrowing someone else’s phone because I had left mine in the office). She had a pretty nasty laceration on her temple so there was quite a bit of blood. I stuck around until the paramedics came and loaded her into the ambulance.
They did a head-to-toe check and it appeared that everything was fine.
I'm definitely glad that she's okay and hope the rest of the week treats her a lot better than today did!
